LANDOLOGY 33 



Located along Green Bay are many summer resorts, and 

 hundreds of summer cottages. People from all parts of America 

 spend their summer vacations here. 



The general outline of the country and lay of the land makes 

 this a favored spot for those seeking health and comfort. 



THE TRUTH ABOUT OUR WINTERS. There is very little 



wind and no winter 

 conditions which are not conducive to health and enjoyment. 



The snow comes generally in December and covers the ground 

 with a warm blanket until the month of March. There are no 

 January thaws such as kill clover in the states of Illinois and Iowa 

 almost every year. We have just clear crisp sunshiny weather 

 the kind that gives one an appetite at almost any hour of the day. 



The snowfall is ordinarily from twelve to eighteen inches, or 

 in other words, a sufficient amount to provide good sleighing for 

 the heavy hauling of farm products, etc., during the winter 



It is the warm blanket of snow covering Marinette county dur- 

 ing the winter that provides crop insurance for each coming year, 

 and this same blanket of snow is one of the reasons why the north- 

 west can be relied upon year after year for its full share of crop 

 production. 



Never a breath of malaria has swept this splendid northern 

 country. The air. is laden with the odor of hemlock, pine, cedar, 

 spruce, balsam, and fir, borne on life-giving breezes from the Great 

 Lakes. 



Come to an enjoyable winter climate where there are no 

 blizzards, no January thaws, no winter rains, no sleet, slush or mud, 

 no radical changes of temperature, but seventy days of reliable 

 winter weather with sleigh-bells ringing, frost in the air, the farmer 

 in the woods or on the road, the mercury varying from 15 to 30 

 degrees above zero, ' and the crisp balmy air bringing abounding 

 health, spirits and vigor to men and animals. 



There are days in the winter of course, when the thermometer 

 registers below zero, but if you will watch temperature records you 

 will be surprised to note that on such days the temperature in states 

 like Illinois, Iowa, South Dakota, and Nebraska, is very apt to be 

 lower than the temperature in Marinette County. 



Talk to any of the many Illinois, Iowa, or Indiana people now 

 living here and they will tell you that the winters of Marinette 

 County are much more comfortable than the winters in their home 

 states. 



OUR HEALTH RECORD. Marinette County has practically 



- led the health records of the state 

 of Wisconsin for many years, and the fact that this record is almost 

 continuous is an argument that should be of great importance to 

 the new settlers thinking of locating in our county.
